Actually, soreness like what you're describing is pretty common for folks who go all out like you did, in the wind, with no real recovery, trying not to get lapped again. When you tap your glycogen (sugars in the muscles used when the heart rate is anerobic) to the depth you did, the toxic byproduct of latic acid is replaced in the muscles. The soreness is the lactic acid build up. Did you warm down after you were pulled from the race? If not you didn't give your legs time to flush it out. The simple act of getting increased blood flow to the affect areas helps flush it out. There are a couple of ways that might help you feel better. You can either do self massage, get a real massage or go out and spin tomorrow for an hour or so in a super easy gear, just to get some blood flowing in the legs and helping to flush the lactic acid out. It's not that uncommon for new and old racers alike to get those effects, but new racers feel it more often due to tapping levels of effort that are new to them.
